\u201cIn a world where art-making can come with preconceived notions and prohibitory barriers, collage offers a chance for us to reconnect with the inner artist within all of us,\u201d says Teri Henderson, co-curator of the exhibition.\u201d Additionally, \u201cLayers\u201d highlights the magic and potential of collage as a liberatory art-making and world-building practice, making space for the work of artists from marginalized backgrounds, including artists of color, women, and queer artists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
